Ortom Blasts Wike, Says More Killings in Rivers Than Benue State

Samuel Ortom
the current Governor of Benue State has replied to his Rivers State
counterpart, Nyesom Wike for calling him an “unqualified governor”.

Ortom warned
Wike to face the crisis in his state where there were more killings and leave
Benue alone.

Wike had
called on the Federal Government to declare state of emergency in Benue over
the killings in the state and Ortom’s inability to manage the situation.

“No excuse
is acceptable for the high number of deaths in Benue.

“You can’t
have a governor watching helplessly as his people are being killed. What kind
of governor is that? . He has displayed sheer laziness and incapacity in the
whole issue, and this is quite unfortunate,” Wike had said.

He said, “It
is unfortunate that someone of his status will be making such outburst because
there are more killings in Rivers than Benue.

“In Rivers,
there is no rule of law but here in Benue there is rule of law; that is why we
have taken proactive steps to stop the Fulani herdsmen attacks on our people.

“We have
sent an anti-grazing bill to the state house of assembly. When the bill is
passed, we will go a step further on the criminality of some hoodlums. We are
on top of the situation.

“I inherited
a state where everything is comatose; criminality was on its peak but with the
steps we have taken, you all are witness to the fact that crime in the state
has been reduced to barest minimum.

“But as a
leader with fear of God I will continue to pray for him, let God help him to
succeed, I leave him with his conscience.”
